What Is A Driver

A driver is what enables a computer’s operating system to communicate with a hardware device. Every computer uses many drivers to control the various installed hardware and devices connected to it, such as a printer or webcam. Without appropriate drivers installed, those devices would not be able to share data with the computer and would not function properly or not function at all.
